Sean Bean Trivia Questions
1. Where was Sean Bean born?

From Quiz Oh No, They Killed Sean Bean (Again)

Answer: Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA)

RADA is an old drama school in London, England, famous for its "classically trained" Shakespearean actors. Sean Bean is one of very many A-list stars who attended - practically half of the "Harry Potter" series did, and fellow "LOTR" actor Jonathan Rhys-Davies (Gimli) did as well. Since only 28 students join each year, this is quite the proportion; their students end up with an instantly high pedigree as actors.

3. Sean Bean replaced Paul McGann to be cast on a major television show that launched his career into high gear both professionally and as a bit of a sex symbol. What role did he take on, that of a Napoleonic era soldier?

10. Alright, one more question about how Sean Bean just can't seem to stop dying: which one does not accurately describe how Sean Bean dies in the title mentioned?

From Quiz Oh No, They Killed Sean Bean (Again)

Answer: "Henry VIII" - Disease

SPOILER: In "Henry VIII", Sean Bean plays Robert Aske, a rebel from Yorkshire. The television show accurately portrays the means of his death, which was a hanging for treason. Not only has Sean Bean died many times on film, he has found many different ways to do so, though shooting is by far the most common.

From Quiz Oh No, They Killed Sean Bean (Again)

Answer: Rowan Atkinson

Rowan Atkinson played the irrepressible character of "Mr. Bean", the title character of a '90s British comedy. It ran for five years and gained quite a following, but Sean Bean was not involved with it. This, however, has not stopped people from sending their mail to the real-life Mr. Bean when they meant the fictional character Mr. Bean.

12. To go back to the beginning for the finale: in which Shakespeare play, featuring feuding families, did Sean Bean make his professional debut?

From Quiz Oh No, They Killed Sean Bean (Again)

Answer: Romeo and Juliet

Sean Bean played Tybalt in "Romeo and Juliet" back in 1983, right after he graduated from school (starting that "dies a lot" trend early). It was a production at the Watermill Theatre, a repertory theatre in England, and the start to a great career!
